Senior Documents SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Around the turn of the century, when Sno- homish High School was witnessing its be- ginning, the subiects offered were limited. A large number of boys took manual train- ing which included an hour and a half of wood shop each day, with two days a week devoted to mechanical drawing. Girls took domestic science where they had to make their own patterns for dresses and suits, as well as curtains, and Christmas gifts. English, Latin, biology, and mathematics were also offered. Activities Nlany of the first group to graduate from Snohomish High School belonged to the Atheneum Society, which was primarily a cultural club. Readings, recitations and de- bates on such subiects as, Resolved, that suffrage should be given to women, were held. Some of the musically inclined girls be- longed to the Mandolin Club, while sports- minded girls turned out for the school basket- ball team, which won three games out of sux. Today's Subiects The subiects offered to students today are much more interesting, and more varied. Con- temporary World Problems, a class which deals with current news affairs and their significances, and English are the only two required subiects for seniors. A large num- ber of seniors, usually those who are going to attend college, take chemistry and higher mathematics. Some of the girls who want jobs after high school take commercial courses where such subiects as office machines, short- hand and bookkeeping are offered. Latin and Spanish are also offered and students usually take two years of foreign language in their sophomore and iunior years. All of the elective subiects offered in the high school curriculum are open to seniors who wish to take them. Some of the more popular elec- tives among seniors are choir, band, speech, lapidary, art, and consumer education. Class Proiects Just as the churches of old Snohomish planned social liours, quilting bees, and wel- fare drives, so the class of '59 scheduled var- ious events duving its three years at Snoho- mish. The annual school Orthopedic drive pro- vided a great deal of competition among TWELVE the classes to see which could bring the most proceeds. The ambitious class of '59 came out of the struggle in second place with S97 worth of goods for the drive in their sopho- neore year. Dances and game concessions were other proiects which the class undertook. With a little money and a lot of work, the class of '59, as iuniors, put their heads to- gether and came up with elaborate plans for the annual junior prom. Girls staged car washes and boys worked hard at ticket sell- inq to help insure a successful dance. The theme chosen was Exotica, and the spectac- ular decorations and the full co-operation of the iunior class made the prom one of the most entertaining dances of all time. Senior Achieve-ments ln November of '58 the senior class once again showed their enthusiasm and full co- operation in sponsoring the annual senior ball. A great deal of time was spent in working out the financial details. In spite of that, the dance was well attended. We Shook the Family Tree, a comedy about a girl and her boyfriend troubles, ran two nights in November. About 250 townspeople came to see the opening night's performance, and about 340 on the second night. This is quite an increase compared to the seventy-two people who came to view the first play ever staged in Snohomish. ln the latter part of December and also during January and early February, the sen- iors ordered their calling cards and announce- ments for the quickly approaching commence- ment. On May i9 the seniors staged their color- ful Senior Slop Day when the unrecognizable seniors came to school incognito, depicting everything from hoboes to cavemen. All the seniors played hooky, with the school board's approval on May 22 for the annual senior picnic. Everyone, including the class advisers, enioyed himself eating, swim- ming, boating, playing golf, tennis, riding horseback, or iust plain relaxing. Eat, drink, and be merry, or so they say. That's exactly what the seniors did at the sen- ior banquet on the eve of May 27. On June 3 the prosperous, fun-loving class of '59 met for the last time to receive their diplomas and to say farewell to high school at the senior party held in Seattle after com- mencement. A reunion has been planned for 1969 and the results are bound to be success- ful, as was the graduating class.
